New pages in the Daily Record this week

Pages offer readers a chance to contribute weekly

Subscribers and readers of the Cañon City Daily Record can look forward to some new weekly features that kickoff this week.

Beginning Wednesday, the Daily Record will offer the "Flavor of Fremont" to our readers. A weekly page dedicated to local cooks, chefs, bakers, herbalists, gardeners and nutritionists will offer readers a wide variety of foods, recipes and cooking or baking techniques.

Learn how to make the perfect pie crust or find out how to create a full gluten-free menu for your family. We will showcase residents who make tamales, breads and cinnamon rolls for sale at shops and farmers

markets, as well as those who simply enjoy cooking or canning for their families. Vegetarian dishes and recipes will be featured, as well.

Starting Thursday, the Daily Record will re-launch its popular "Back In Time" series highlighting historical places, events and people in Fremont County. Local historians and writers will contribute to the feature, bringing history to life. Expect to have an inside glimpse of Fremont County's early coal camps, ranches, prisons and more.

In addition, the Cañon City Geology Club will submit articles for the "Beneath Our Feet" series, celebrating the area's rich geology and paleontology.

Finally, readers will have an opportunity to ask the questions they've always wondered about the area's past.

"Fremont County Wants to Know" will feature a reader-submitted question that is answered by a local historian or expert. Questions may be submitted by email to canterburyc@

The Daily Record, the Royal Gorge Regional History Center and Museum, the Museum of Colorado Prisons, the Fremont Historical Society and the Cañon City Geology Club look forward to sharing this new series with the community.

"Back In Time" and "Flavor of Fremont" come on the heels of the newspaper's new weekly "Education" page featured every Tuesday and the "Our Community" page that runs once or twice a week.

Thoughts, suggestions or ideas may be emailed to Editor Michael Alcala at

"The new feature pages are part of our pledge to have more reader-submitted material in our paper," Alcala said. "Our education and community pages have been very successful because of the response we have had, and we hope we receive the same for our food and history pages."

Photos and stories in both new series will be posted on the Daily Record Facebook page and website at www
